I'd Come Into Filmmaking As A Painter

I'm Going In A Really Weird I-don't-know-where Direction, But I Prefer Anything [different] From How Standardized Filmmaking Has Become.

I Try To Get To Know The Actors As Much As I Can. I Feel Like I'm Friends With Them For Starters And For A Week Or Two, We Rehearse When They're Getting The Costumes Together.

And Later I Thought, I Can't Think How Anyone Can Become A Director Without Learning The Craft Of Cinematography.

You Never Look At The Backside Of A Mirror Because When You Do, It'll Affect Your Future Because You're Looking At Yourself Backwards. No, You're Looking At Your Inner Self And You Don't Recognize It Because You've Never Seen It Before.

I'd Come Into Filmmaking As A Painter So, For Me, Making 'good Will Hunting' Was Experimental Because I Didn't Know How To Do It.
